Middle East oil disruption here to stay — load up on Big Oil
A major shipping route for global oil, the Strait of Hormuz, is expected to stay disrupted until the end of the year. Experts are now warning that continued tensions could push oil prices up to $150 a barrel.
Idea
A massive portion of the world's oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz, so delays there act like a traffic jam on the world's energy supply. If the strait won't return to normal until late in the year, oil prices could stay elevated for months. When oil prices rise and stay high, the companies that pump it make a lot more money per barrel. Because this situation could persist, buying major U.S. oil producers offers a way to profit from the ongoing squeeze.
